From http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/postmodernism/ http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/postmodernism/
[..] it can be described as a set of critical, strategic and rhetorical practices employing concepts such as difference, repetition, the trace, the simulacrum, and hyperreality to destabilize other concepts such as presence, identity, historical progress, epistemic certainty, and the univocity of meaning.
In short: it about bending language to such extent that all meaning is distorted to the point of being broken.
- viggity 18y agoOh, so they're bullshit artists. I wonder how much of my tax dollars get paid for these people to talk out their asses. I'll stick with people who actually produce things that move the world forward.
- Confusion 18y agoWell, it's a pretty important, and counterintuitieve, property of language that it is even possible to do the things they do. In The Matrix terms: they show us just how deep the rabbithole goes.
